Bug Description
Feature request: When emptying my Trash, I want to empty it completely.
I copied a few thousand jpg files from a CDROM to my personal folder, and
deleted them. When emptying the trashcan the read-only files cannot be deleted.
I can't delete the normal files either, because I can't skip the many thousands
read-only files, so I have to cancel the operation. Although it seems logical
that I cannot delete read-only files, but now I have to run the 'rm' recursively
with root permissions on the .Trash folder. That is very dangerous. It would be
easier if I can delete all the files which are in my own trashcan.
Ubuntu: 5.10
Nautilus: 2.12.1
